    Hey gang!

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Thursday! So after just getting through clients yesterday, I went to the hospital after work and got diagnosed with lumbar strain. At least I can walk compared to the night before where the pain was so excruciating. I'll train clients today, but no class.

    Cardio: walk- 30 minutes (200 calories)

    Strength: back- pulldowns, bent over barbell rows, seated cable rows, straight arm pulldowns. 4x12,10,8,6.

    Assessment: Chicken adobo for dinner.

    Been there, done that on the back injury, and glad it was just a strain and not actually something torn. But when I had a back injury, I avoided the weight room entirely; when YOU have a back strain, you not only hit the weight room, you do a BACK WEIGHT SESSION!!!

    Cardio: Elliptical - 1hr hills (833 calories)

    Food: Lunch - who knows, Dinner - mystery meal (something takeout)

    Life: Last night I ended up eating BOTH a second burger (tried adding diced red/green peppers, delicious!) AND had s'mores with my daughter. One's good for the body, the other's good for the soul. A healthy person needs both.

    Life 2: Wife and youngest daughter leave tonight for Disneyworld, red eye flight arriving at 2am. Daughter's marching band got selected to perform during a parade celebrating 50 years of Disneyworld. Of course, they only perform one time, yet will be there for five days, visiting all the theme parks during spring break. (Wife originally was going to be a chaperone, but now is classified a "band groupie" and will just be travelling with the group, staying at the same hotel but otherwise doing her own thing.)

    Happy TGIF! Full schedule. I'm able to move around well now, just no sudden twisting movements. Back feel sore, but more like I worked out instead of pain. Pain is almost completely gone already.

    Cardio: Elliptical - 1hr hills, plus warmup walk on treadmill waiting for elliptical to open (864 calories)

    Food: Lunch - KFC sandwich, Dinner - baked salmon with rice and broccoli

    Weight: My body did indeed continue with its every-other-week weight loss by leaping ahead two full pounds, putting me at 179.4. Made it sub-180 before the end of March! Just in time for me to switch gears into a slow bulk, adding creatine to my day and eating back every precious calorie burned working out. Starts Monday...can't wait!

    Cardio: Walking - 1.5 miles

    Lifting: Day 1 of Return to Lifting Following Layoff

    50% 1RM
    Bench 1x5
    Squat 1x5
    Pushdown 2x12

    Analysis: Entire thing, including slow warmup and super slow reps, took between 15-20 minutes, ended feeling like I'd just been teased. But the program is designed to reintroduce to lifting, work up in weight, sets and reps over the course of 4 weeks, and not leave the lifter crippled with DOMS. Good news is that my elbow and grip felt great, and while my arms were admittedly slightly shaky due to the super-slow reps, my legs felt strong and completely unfazed by the layoff, likely due to how heavily they got used doing tons of cardio.

    Food: Lunch - burger and fries, Dinner - stroganoff
